It’s official, Bennifer are over (again).
After all the excitement of their2021 reunion,Jennifer Lopezhas filed for divorce fromBen Affleck— marking their second high-profile split since they broke off their first engagement in 2004.
According toPeople, Jennifer filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, Aug. 20 — the anniversary of Ben and Jen’straditional wedding ceremony, which took place in Georgia in 2022. (They legally tied the knot inLas Vegason July 16.)
Reports suggest that the singer filed for divorce without an attorney. Asourcealso told NBC News that Ben and Jen — who have respective net worths of about$150 millionand$400 million— do not have a prenup, meaning any money they earned individually during the two years they were married is community property.
Jennifer’s decision to file for divorce comes aftermonths of speculationthat she and Ben were facing issues. And now, the documents reportedly indicate that the marriage has been over for some time, with J.Lo listing the separation date as 31 January 2025.
Ben has yet to respond to the filing, and neither he nor Jennifer have issued official statements regarding the split. So far, we know little about what may have caused the divorce, although a source toldPeoplethat Jennifer “tried really hard to make things work and is heartbroken.”
Amid all this, Ben appears to be focused on fatherhood. On Tuesday morning — hours before J.Lo filed for divorce — the Oscar-winner was seen arriving back in LA on a private jet withJennifer Garner. The exes had reportedly returned from Connecticut, where they’d dropped their 18-year-old daughter, Violet, off atYale University.
Over the last few months, J.Lo has been seen on numerous outings withBen’s children. On Aug. 11, following reports that she and Ben hadn’t seen each other in “weeks,” the couple spent time together at his rental home in Brentwood — bolstering claims that the separation has beenrelatively amicable.
On Aug. 5, an insider toldEntertainment Tonightthat Ben and J.Lo had been holding off frommaking the divorce officialto ensure a “seamless” transition for their respective kids.
BuzzFeed has contacted Ben and Jennifer’s representatives for comment.
